II. Long Answer Questions (LAQs) (4*3=12)

It has been the custom of historians to divide the factors for wars into immediate and
underlying causes. Among these underlying causes, the economic factor is generally placed
at the head of the list. Indeed, the most important of these was the industrial and
commercial rivalry between Germany and Great Britain.

Germany, after its unification in 1871, went through a period of economic miracle. By 1914,
she was producing more iron and steel than Britain and France combined. In chemicals, in
dye, and in the manufacture of scientific equipment she led the world. The products of her
industries were crowding British manufactures in nearly every market for continental
Europe, in the Far East and in Britain itself.

There is evidence that certain interests in Great Britain were becoming seriously alarmed
over the menace of Germany competition.

There seemed to be a strong conviction that Germany was waging deliberate and deadly
economic warfare upon Britain to capture her market by unfair methods. Thus, for Britain to
allow Germany to be victorious in this struggle would mean the destruction of her
prosperity and a grave threat to her national existence.

There are indications that the French also were alarmed by the German industrial
expansion. In 1870, France had lost possession of the expensive iron and coal deposit of
Lorraine, which had gone to swell the industrial growth of Germany. To be sure, the French
had plenty of iron left in the Briery Fields, but they were afraid that their enemy might
eventually reach out and grab these too. Besides, France was under necessity of importing
coal and this galled her pride almost as much as the loss of the iron.

In addition, the Russian ambition to gain control of Constantinople and other portions of
Turkish territory conflicted with German plans for reserving the Turkish Empire as their
happy hunting ground of commercial privilege. Then Russia and Austria a close ally of
Germany were rivals for a monopoly of trade with the Balkan kingdoms of Serbia, Romania,
Bulgaria and Greece.

1.Answer the following.

a) In two sentences, one for each, state two reasons why Britain considered Germany a
threat.

b) In two sentences, one for each, state two reasons why the French felt threatened by the
Germans.

c) In two sentences, one for each, state two factors responsible for Russian antagonism with
Germany.
